The problem is caused by %fdupes replacing directories with symlinks. It should
never ever do that (and instead only replace the individual files with
symlinks, even if entire directories are duplicates) because rpm cannot handle
the case where a symlink is replaced by a directory.
If now the old version of a package had duplicate directories and they are no
longer exact duplicates in the new version, the symlink becomes a directory
again, and rpm breaks. For packages where this already happened, the only
solution is to add %pre scriptlets which remove the symlinks. The real fix is
in %fdupes, of course.
